You can get the valve out without taking the rail off. It is very tight. Make sure you use a 6 point wrench and i take a hammer and tap the wrench in order to give it a impact affect. It will come out, just try a little harder.

I had an impact gun on it and it wouldnt budge! theres no way a wrench is getting it off.

How in the f**k do you fit an impact back there? Holy shit
Mine came off no prob. Hit it with a hammer.
the wrench, not the rail.

ill give another "whack" at it, but holy crap its on there!

you'd be amazed how much just hittin a wrench with a hammer can do

Bill600 · 12-14-2008, 02:12 PM

no luck, its still stuck in there. i think the rail is going to have to come out. any tips on how to get the rail out?

Wow you never use a impact on fuel fitting like this.when you get the rail off inspect the fitting because you just ran the risk off cracking it. if you have a breaker bar use that with a pipe on the bar for a extension.

i cant get the breaker bar in there, the impact was a last resort after many other attempts other ways. i have been trying to get it out all day, with no luck. i dont know what else to try. now im worried about rounding the head, it looks like it got a little rounded already.
i tried the with a 6 point and a hammer, but there wasnt enough room to get a decent whack at it. and the little tapping i was doing wasnt going to work for sure.

i would like to get the rail out, but it looks like there is a lot that would have to come out first. thats why i was looking for some advice on how to get that rail out.
